Style Wars (1983)
Subway Art - Style Wars
Subway Art had the graffiti pictures shot by Martha Cooper and for any up and coming writer this was your bible. So, naturally if you claim you know Hip-Hop and have never heard of Style Wars or Subway Art, well start with Style Wars the documentary and grab a copy of Subway Art.
Style Wars was dead on in capturing the energy and youth movement in NYC. The music, art and dance are all there. This is an urban classic!
Favorite: Talking to the kids in the Bronx at the "writers bench"
Who knew that the art form (graffiti), music (Rap) and dance (breaking) would take the world by storm and become the commercial monster it is today. This is Hip-Hop culture in its most pure form, remembering this is a look at kids who formed a culture around street arts.
